High elevation, south facing, purely dune sand slopes serve as the core for our Syrah production at our estate Perilune vineyard. Less than five total acres are cultivated of clones 174, 470 and Estrella. Raised in our cold Sta. Rita Hills appellation, Syrah ripens very late in the season and maintains a very vibrant and breathy personality with a an extremely upright posture.
The floral and white pepper elements intrinsic to the variety are further amplified by fermentation carried out completely as whole clusters. The stem participation not only emboldens the botanical lift aromatically, it also provides a savory tea-like mouthfeel to offer architecture to the wine from within.
CRAFT
Sixty days on the skins and stems. Most exhausted cooperage. We employ solely whole cluster fermentation. We farm with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with our beautiful Santa Barbara County fruit
CELLARING
All of the wines are produced with the intention of aging and cellaring for at least 10 years and can easily be enjoyed after 15 years.
We have an uncompromising commitment to quality. Using sustainable and organic farming methods, we work to achieve a balance between the site, the vines, and the microclimates in each vineyard.
